CIME Pakistan is the first simulation-based educational institute in South Asia to be accredited by the US-based Society for Simulation in Healthcare, SSH.

The Aga Khan University's Centre for Innovation in Medical Education (CIME) is regarded as the most advanced healthcare teaching and learning institute in Pakistan and East Africa, and is comparable to the best in the world. Vision: CIME, by promoting excellence in education, innovation and research, and by bridging traditional boundaries between professions, will become a strategic resource for AKU, AKDN, the nation and the region.

Mission: CIME aims to transform education in Nursing, Medicine, Dentistry and Allied Health professions in Pakistan and East Africa through partnerships and through raising expectations of what is possible in education, innovation, and learning through technology. It has the potential to become a regional leader and be on a par with the best simulation centres globally. The Centre intends on transitioning from being an ‘Excellent Centre’ to a ‘Centre of Excellence’ where teaching and learning are directly linked to improved practitioner performance and improved patient outcomes.
